Our Fees and conditions:

1. Out of court: no upfront fees

Out of court proceedings are free of charge for our clients ("no cure, no pay").

As our client
you come up to pay nothing in out-of-court-activities (prelegal proceedings).
In case of success in collection we charge for a contingent fee (commission) only from the collected amount. The range is 1,5% - 7,5% (details on your request).*

Our service
includes the check of:
- court's register of debtors, - active business of the debtor (f.i. phone calls, fax), etc. - pending bankruptcy proceedings,
- peculiarities in the Internet and Social Networks (low level), - check if service of (court) documents is possible

2. Court proceedings:If the debtor refuses to pay or does not react court proceedings are to recommend by lack of further legal options to force him to payment out of court.

Before starting any court proceedings we request for your consent and try to get information about the solvency of the debtor.

The debtor is obliged by law to refund all court and lawyers fees, if he is defeated in the lawsuit. Hence, all fees and costs are basically recoverable from the debtor.

Please consider: If the debtor has acknowledged to pay the debt you can achieve a judgment very fast and by investing less or no fees at all! Please call us or describe the case shortly by email.

In court proceedings we can offer favorable, competitive terms and reasonable fees:

It is possible to free you from any costs if we dispose of full documentation (all invoices, reminder, POD, contract, signed PoA, all contact details etc.), we assess the legal position strong and the debtor is not insolvent. The range of the debt is 500,00 EUR-15,000.00 EUR. Therefore you do not have to pay anything and do not have to care about something.

Furthermore we offer conducting court proceedings by paying only court fees in case not all requirements are fulfilled (f.e. we dispose of full documentation, PoA...). The range is from 86,00 EUR-517,00 EUR (at a claim of 7.000,00 EUR).

It is possible to free you from any costs to start court proceedings if you accept a higher commission/success fee (10-25%) to cover our risks.
You can find more details here-->

Your benefit: If you provide us with all documents and we found the debtor not insolvent you do not have to pay anything and do not have to care about something.

Basically Court and Lawyer fees relate to a legal table binding by law. The amount depends on the amount in controversy (amount of claim). The range is from 86,00 EUR-517,00 EUR (at a claim of 7.000,00 EUR). Such small fees can be sufficient to obtain an enforceable judgement.

We reserve to claim for the total of the legal fees if the debtor lodges an appeal against a court order or contests the debt in court proceedings (defect of goods, malperformance, late delivery, breach of contract, counterclaims etc.). We will inform you about the total of fees at an early stage or on request. Certainly you can decide not pursue the claim further on.

You can find the legal table for Court and Lawyer Fees here: "court + fees".
You also find explanations how to calculate the fees in your case.
